Many tents, blankets and other supplies, including food and clothing, are donated by community support from local businesses, parishioners from the host church and from other church congregations, and by residents of the surrounding neighborhood.

SHARE/WHEEL pays approximately $4,000 a month to operate Tent Village. This includes the drainage of the Sani-Cans three times a week, trash removal, the purchase of and delivery of supplies, provision of bus tickets, and moving expenses. We are grateful to our many donors and supporters! Many tents, blankets, and other supplies, including food and clothing, have been donated. The University Methodist Temple’s Friday Feast brings a hot meal to Tent City every Friday night, and Food Not Bombs brings a hot meal out to Tent City every Sunday night. Many other groups and individuals provide meals and ready-to-go-food on an occasional basis. Seattle service providers have met with Tent Villagers to find out what services they need and who they are willing to have visit the tents.
